THE ATLANTIC CABLE WAS LOST,
do you remember that the Great Eastern,
and the Midway, and the Albany went
out to find il? Thirty times they sank
the grappel two and half miles deep in
the water. After awhile they found the
cable and brought it to the surface. No
sooner had it been brought to the surface
than they lifted shout of exultation, but
the cable slipped back again into the
water and were lost. Then for two weeks
more they swept the sea with the Crap
pling hooks, and at last they found the
cable, and they brought it up in silence.
They fastened it this time. Then with
great excitement they took one
end of the cable to the cleo
trician's room to see if there were
really any life in it, and when they
saw n spark and knew that q message
could be sent, then every hat was lifted,
and the rockets flew, and the guns sounded
until all the vessels on the expedition
knew the work was done, and the contin-
ents were lashed together. Well, my
friends, sabbath after Sabbath, we have
come searching down for your soul. We
have swept the sen with the graphing
hook of Christ's Gospel. Again and again
we have thought you were at the surface
and began to rejoice over your redemption;
but at the moment of our glsdness you
sank hack again into the world and back
again into sin. To-day We come with
this Gospel searching for your soul. We
apply the cross of Christ first to see whether
there is any life left in you, while all
around the people stand, looking to see
whether the work will he done, and the
angels of God bend down and witness, and
oh, if now we could see only one spark of
love. and hope, and faith, We would send
up shout that would be heard on the
battlements of heaven, and two worlds
would keep jubilee because communica-
tion is open between Christ and the soul,
and your nature that has been sunken in
sin has been lifted into the light and the
Joy of the Gospel!

HARD WORDS FOR 40.
THE IBRBwBRS' UNION HOLD A MEETING
WHICH THEY SECEDH


NEW YORK, February 13.-The Brewers
Union met to-day. The members were
outspoken against the leaders Of notrict
Assembly 49, and said they could not un-
derstand why the brewers, Of all the
trades, had been ordered to help bolster
up forlorn hope at the eleventh hour.
which 40 had vainly ordered them TO do.
Mr.. Herbrandt, Secretary Of the National
Brewers Union, expressed the belief that
the strike had been woefully mismanaged
from the start, and it was doomed to disas-
trous collapse from its inception. The
brewers would not strike because they
were earning good wages, and would not
risk these advantages, besides breaking
their contract, when the result would
only be additions to tho common loss.
Resolutions embodying these opinions
were adopted, and this action WAS supple.
mented by an official determination that
the brewers organization should withdraw
its delegates from the district which Is
practically secession from that body.
The Beer Drivers organization ut \
meeting at the same hall later in the day
took action identical with that OF the
Brewers Union.
WON'T RETURN To WORK.
Delegations from oil the Iongshoremen's
Unions of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey
City held convention this afternoon.
The men were in conference four hours,
and they decided not 10 return to work
save ut 40 cents per hour day work and Ga
cents per hour for over time. One ship
owner was present and agreed
to set l25 men Mt work at once at 40 and
60 cents, pending permanent adjustment
of prices, but with the understanding that
il the general scale became3 and II cents,
his work should he then done by the men
at the same rates This proposition was
accepted. There was developed n strong
undertone Of feeling against those who had
led the men into the late iruitless strike.
